Cupid's Garland: Valentine songs of Love and Longing
CUPID'S GARLAND
A Musical Valentine
Renaissance and Baroque Songs of Love and Longing
Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 7:00 PM
Grace Episcopal Church, Astoria
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, the Astoria Music Festival will present "Cupid's Garland," a romantic candlelit evening of Elizabethan and early Baroque songs expressing love's joys and sorrow in the intimate setting of Astoria's Grace Episcopal Church at 7:00 PM on Sunday, February 16, 2014.
The concert will feature two popular performers, familiar to music aficionados for their many appearances in the Astoria Music Festival. American soprano AMY HANSEN will join Early Music specialist HIDEKI YAMAYA, performing on the Renaissance Lute and Archlute, instruments as visually beautiful as they are their delicate sonorities.
The program includes music by the English Renaissance composers JOHN DOWLAND and JOHN LAWES, as well as HENRY PURCELL, master of the English Baroque, known as the finest British composer for four centuries. Among the works to be performed are Dowland's famous "Flow My Tears" and "Awake Sweet Love," well known to lovers of Elizabethan madrigals and Purcell's "Fairest Isle," a touching ode to England from the opera King Arthur.
The intimate setting, heartfelt love songs, and beautiful historic instruments promise a unique and romantic evening for lovers of all ages. And each audience member will receive a special treat!
